...I have been told that the 40mm - which is 60mm eq on the NEX - would be kind of odd to use as a fixed lens, because you'd have to stay quite far when the subject is a group of people and quite close to do a portrait, it doesn't fit to inside photography because it's too long, with macro or still-life wouldn't fit too because you have not enough optic enlargement and panoramic photos would be impossible.
...what do u think about that? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

If I could just take one prime lens I would probably go for a 35mm (full format). This translates to something around 24mm then on the NEX. e.g. The Skopar 21mm is supposed to be very sharp and equiv. to about 32mm.
40mm are indeed a little odd on APS-C. It's somewhere in-between everything.
